Last night's Edinburgh group AGM was lively affair with many inspiring and helpful contributions from the floor!

Outgoing convenor Tim Maguire talked us through last year's activities and I'm sure that everyone agrees it has been an interesting and productive year for our group. His full report is posted separately.

The new committee was voted in:

Convenor: Juliet Wilson
Vice Convenor: Jack Gold
Secretary: Cathy Crawford
Treasurer: Peter MacDonald
Committee members: Jean Llewellyn and Roger Redondo

As the new Convenor, I would like to take this opportunity to remind our members that although they may not want to sit on the committee they are always welcome to come up with suggestions and be actively involved in the running of the group's activities.

There were some suggestions from the floor that along with our monthly meetings at the Quaker Meeting House, other types of meetings would be welcome. Having discussions in pubs was a very popular idea! The committee will be discussing this and other ideas in its first meeting at the end of this month and hopes to have some new events in our calendar.

If you couldn't make it to the AGM but would like to be on the committee, please let us know.

It only remains for me to extend a warm thank you to Tim Maguire who has put in considerable effort over the last two years to organising and chairing events for the group. He has been dedicated and considerate and has played an integral role in many of the new developments in the Society such as our new leaflets and website.

Tim is standing for the post of Media Officer in the Board of Trustees at the HSS AGM on the 20th of April.

Any questions and suggestions regarding the Edinburgh group should be directed to me:

I hope to see you at the next meeting on Monday, 05 May 2008, 19:30 - 21:30 at the Quaker Meeting House, Victoria Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2JL. (just off the Royal Mile), where Professor Dabir Tehrani will talk about religious attitudes to sexuality.

Warmest regards,

Juliet Wilson
